Published in London between 1992-1996 by feminist publishers Scarlet Press, Lesbians Talk Issues is a pamphlet series that captures in frank and vibrant detail the views and experiences of a huge range of people within, and on the periphery of, lesbian communities in Britain.

To celebrate all seven titles in the series being digitised and made available on the Bishopsgate Institute collections, we'll be joined by Cherry Smyth, author of Lesbians Talk Queer Notions (1992), Pratibha Parmar, co-author of Lesbians Talk (Safer) Sex (1992)and Joelle Taylor, co-author of Lesbians Talk Violent Relationships (1994) for a discussion about their pamphlets and lesbian London in the 1990s. The panel will be chaired by Nazmia Jamal.
